What was your first position/job in the A/E/C Industry? Architectural Designer with Perkins & Will

Why and/or how did you decide on the A/E/C Industry? After attending a high-school summer program in architecture at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., I knew for sure that design was for me. My undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech strengthened these assertions. With guidance from inspirational professors, I delved into design thinking, iteration, analysis, research, and artistic expression. This creative process, along with a passion for people and placemaking, are continued drivers of my architectural career.
